Discharge Tubes

Discharge Hose

1.  The discharge tubes (a) dispense the foam and should  

be  mounted  in  the  desired  foaming  position.  

Generally,  they  are  mounted  at  the  end  of  a  sprayer  

boom (b) (Figure 4).

2.  If you are mounting the tubes on a sprayer, a nozzle body 

clamp (c) can be used.  Simply mount the clamp on the 

sprayer's boom and insert the threaded barb elbow (d) 

through the hole where the nozzle body would normally 

go.

3.  Ensure that the discharge tube does not interfere with 

the operation of the equipment it is mounted on.  For 

example,  make  sure  that  the  discharge  tubes  do  not 

interfere with the spray pattern if you are mounting the 

foam marker on a sprayer.

1.  One 33’ length of 3/8” discharge hose is included with the 

turf foam marker and may be cut as needed.  

2.  Begin by attaching the discharge (e) hose to the hose 

barbs on the compressor on the foam marker unit. 

3.  It is important that both hoses are the same length.  This 

will ensure uniform foaming from both discharge tubes.  

Clamp the hose onto the hose barbs with the included 

hose clamps (f).

4.  Route the discharge hoses (e) to the discharge tubes and 

attach the hose to the threaded barb elbow (d) (Figure 4).

Operating Instructions

Before operating the turf foam marker, it is important that you read this entire manual and know all safety precautions.  It is also 

recommended that you do a thorough inspection of the turf foam marker before operation.  Prior to use, ensure that all hoses are 

attached and undamaged and that the wiring harnesses are properly plugged together and connected to an adequate power source.

1.  Fill  the  foam  solution  tank  with  the  proper  mixture  of 

water and an approved foam concentrate, according to 

the foam concentrate's manufacturer.  

2.  Do Not use dish soap, hand soap, or any other unapproved 

solution in the turf foam marker.  

5.      If  you  are  attaching  the  discharge  tube  to  a  sprayer 

boom,  pay  close  attention  to  the  positioning  of  the 

discharge  hose.    The  hose  should  be  positioned  in 

an  manner  such  that  it  won't  be  kinked  or  pinched 

when  the  boom  is  in  the  folded  or  unfolded  position.  

Remember to also account for boom height adjustment 

or other movements that the hose will be subject to.

6.  With the discharge hoses in the correct position, fasten 

them with the included cable ties.
